New '11 Tacoma 4x4

Hello everyone, just bought a slightly used 2011 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 access cab. It's the 4cyl. 5 speed manual trans, all stock. Plans for the truck are simple, 3" lift and 33" tires, then lots and lots of beach driving and fishing. I've owned two other Toyotas recently, had a 86 x-tra cab for a while, sold it to raise money to move, then a '84 x-tra cab that I just sold recently. I loved my old school Yotas, especially the '84 with the solid front axle, but they were both old and full of issues, not to mention no a/c. A couple of days ago I traded in my daily driver, a '08 Scion xD, for this '11 Tacoma. I had to have it in the access cab because it reminds me of my old x-tra cabs, and a 5 speed manual behind a 4 cylinder with 4 wheel drive made the truck really feel like a Toyota truck is supposed to in my opinion. I look forward to learning from you all, and sharing my experiences here on this forum.

Welcome and congratulations on your new truck! Hello from Louisiana!

 

That's funny, I just traded my '08 Scion XD on a 4 cyl. Prerunner double cab.

Hello and welcome!

 

I have the exact same truck but in MGM with a toolbox on it and love it man. Im sure you will love it. Any idea on what lift your gonna use?

 

Welcome, I have the same truck {dif. color} and it's a work horse and great play rig for me!!! I have the 3" lift and just ordered 33" they will be here on 7/5...can't wait!

 

Still shopping for 3" lift, lots of choices so not sure which one i'll go with yet. Just read about the SPI gathering in July, looking forward to that.

 

Just ordered a set of Bilstein 5100's and OME 885 springs, looking to get a new set of black steel wheels soon and try and stuff 285/75r16's
